Porto Vecchio Area Holidays

An ancient town on Corsica’s southeastern tip, Porto Vecchio combines a historical old town with a hefty dose of contemporary cool. While the town is centred around a 16th-century citadel, there’s also a fashionable marina that attracts a hip crowd, as well as excellent shopping and dining in the chic boutiques and cafés. Plus there are rather lovely beaches, and easy access to Corsica’s most ravishing inland landscapes, too. This mix makes Porto Vecchio holidays a savvy choice for those looking for seaside fun and mountain escapades.

Wander the narrow streets lined with quaint stone houses, or take a seat at one of the waterside bars and watch the sail boats come and go. Within a 10-minute drive you can reach pretty villages and superb beaches, including the legendary Palombaggia with its powder-soft white sand. Or head inland and visit lakes, mountains, prehistoric settlements or go horse riding or quad biking. Mountains or beaches – whichever you fancy, holidays to Ponte Vecchio offer the best of both.
